Analysis: Kruger has started 46 games for Cleveland in the past three seasons, during which he's had 18 sacks, including a career-high 11 in 2014. Last season, however, he was credited with 27 tackles, his fewest since 2011, and 2 1/2 sacks, his fewest since 2010. When he was released earlier this week, Kruger said the Browns made "absolutely the wrong decision."
